Prestongrange
2023 - 2024
Prestongrange is a series of works revolving around the historic site of Prestongrange Brick and Tile Works, located on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, East Lothian.
From the onset of the Industrial Revolution, works producing heavy ceramics, including bricks, pipes and tiles, flourished at Prestongrange, along with increased coal extraction. Prestongrange Brick and Tile Works closed in 1975.
The works in Prestongrange explore ideas of object value, fuction, industrial decline, through symbolic material choices and labour-intensive alternative photographic process.
